With a record heat wave upon us, please make sure to pack your child a reusable water bottle, hats, and apply sun protection. We will be closely monitoring the weather and bring students inside if it is too hot or the air is unhealthy.
FundRun is coming up! Mark your calendars for Wednesday, September 28th. This is the biggest PTA fundraiser of the year.

Reminders
Communication
Communication between home and school is always encouraged. During the school day, from 8:30 a.m. - 2:50 p.m., our teachers are busy working with your child/ren. If you have an urgent message that needs to be relayed to your child, please contact the school office. Otherwise, you can expect a response from the teacher within 48 hours of your email/phone call.
Lunch Procedures
Before eating lunch, our students will be dismissed to the playground for play and then brought in to eat. Following the 20 minute lunch, students will return to class, ready to learn.
Research shows there are many benefits to Recess Before Lunch:
- Improved student behavior on the playground, in the cafeteria, and the classroom.
- Students waste less food and drink more milk.
- Children are more settled and ready to learn in the afternoon.
The research was right on the money! Recess before lunch did, indeed, produce some very hungry students this week.
Lunch Bunch-Volunteer at School!
Altamont Creek Elementary is looking for several adult volunteers to become part of our Lunch Bunch. These volunteers will help assist and supervise students during their lunch break. Please sign up for as few or as many time slots as you are able. We appreciate all the help!
Please review the available slots below and click on the button to sign up. Thank you!

Join the Altamont Creek PTA!
We welcome all parents, grandparents, aunties, uncles, nannies and neighbors to join the ACE PTA for the 2022-2023 school year!
Don't worry! Signing up to be a member does not obligate you to attend meetings, functions, or participate in fundraisers. While we would love to see you attend as much as you are able to, we understand how busy families are. Your membership helps give us a voice in local, state, and national organizations as well as providing a small donation toward our annual fundraising goal.
